Another reason I was dissapointed with "One Night with the King" . . . cause it didn't line up with what was in my mind's eye.<BR/>Anywho . . . still love the story, still love the little escape that those BBC's do provide.Pfingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741397045938415768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-14592877231449560912007-03-26T13:41:00.000-07:002007-03-26T13:41:00.000-07:00Well I'm jealous!

Wish I had it dvd:) <BR/>Have you ever read the Austen Series of books by Debra White Smith? <BR/>She takes all Jane Austen's books and writes them in a modern setting....they're awesome!

I've heard too many horrible reviews of them. <BR/><BR/>Mansfield Park was the only Jane Austen novel that really disappointed me, so I probably wouldn't watch the movie anyway. I've considered reading it again to see if it improves on a second read, but there are just so many other works out there that I would rather commit Geekwifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757848004081797679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-23132066229464394572007-03-26T04:33:00.000-07:002007-03-26T04:33:00.000-07:00The Pride and Prejudice that is in that BBC boxed ...The Pride and Prejudice that is in that BBC boxed set is truly horrendous IMO. I just couldn't STAND it. Probably why I never bothered renting any of the others...perhaps I should...?<BR/><BR/>Completely agree with the above comment...Elizabeth Gaskell is WONDERFUL. The North & South miniseries is fantastic, it truly rivals the BBC/A&E Pride and Prejudice as my favorite.

The BBC's miniseries of her book North & South is fantastic. It is different to P & P as it is set in a northern working class town but is equally fabulous. Let me know if you check it out!Relhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857426893482706263noreply@blogger.com
